Don't Lose Perspective

by angelica

here I am blogging about something like NDS when we have much more severe and actually damaging syndromes out there!

take for example NTSW: No Thinking Skills Whatsoever. This serious disorder doesn’t stop at anyone, affecting head of states as well as whole populations!

it also comes in at least two forms: cNTSW, or congenital NTSW, and aNTSW, or acquired NTSW., which you acquire through public schools, print medias, tv, radio, even peer pressure.

there is no cure for cNTSW yet (sorry, george) but aNTSW can be treated by staying away from mainstream media and american newspapers, delving into literature and taking philosophy classes.

what is NDS?

NDS Syndrome or No Domestic Skills Disorder is a multifunctional disorder discovered in the late 80ties by two young scientists who published a paper which described a pattern of behaviors in several women who had normal if not above average intelligence and language development, but who also exhibited marked deficiencies in domestic skills. In spite of the publication of this paper, it wasn't until recently that NDS is getting more widespread attention by professionals.

Individuals with NDS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with NDS show marked deficiencies in domestic skills, have difficulties with all kind of housework and prefer others to do the same. They often have obsessive dislikes of anything domestic and may just avoid related activities such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, etc. They have a great deal of difficulty to use kitchen utensils or sewing equipment and very often the individual with NDS has difficulty understanding written material pertaining to domestic work issues.

It's important to remember that the person with NSD perceives herself to be perfectly normal and healthy.

By definition, those with NDS often have above normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in several specific areas other than the domestic realm. While intellect and education seem, on the surface, normal or above normal, individuals with NDS often have a deficit in patience and subordination to any kind of authority.

At this time there is a great deal of debate as to exactly where NDS fits. It is presently described as a behavioral disorder but some professionals feel that NDS might have underlying genetic causes, located on the X-chromosome.

Further research is underway but if the X-chromosome genetic cause theory can be substantiated, the unrealistically high amount of reported male NDS cases will have to be treated at what they probably are: avoidance syndrome.
